A property dispute puts lives on hold, as well as money
Late delivery, a transaction stalled after a deposit or disputed construction defects can interrupt a move, a mortgage or an investment.
The next decision requires perspective: litigation, negotiation or mediation, and whether the likely benefit justifies the cost. We address that question candidly.
Matters we regularly encounter
A seller or purchaser withdraws from a transaction.
A developer delivers late or with defects.
A dispute concerns registration, ownership shares or use of jointly owned property.
You need to defend a claim already filed against you.
